West Berkshire Council is a body that consists of mainly administrators, no actual managers that oversee work. It is time now to sack the hierarchy down to supervisor level and bring the majority of services back to being council run. Our council tax should not be used for private profit but used to provide public services and if managers cannot run these services cost effectively they are the wrong managers. When contracts are let to outside contractors they then sub contract the work to profit making sub contractors and charge WBC at least 12% to allegedly manage the job, its fraught with miss use and underhanded practice. WBC have no control over any of the physical or practical works they carry out. These works could see at least three levels of sub contract with each one adding their profit on. It has to stop.
